Yes, I can confirm that Adventure does come and pick you up at the park service dock in St John. We booked over the phone, but you could also book through the "guy under the stairs" at Mongoose.

They also offer photo packages and t-shirts on board. If you have a waterpreoof camera I would bring it to get some great shots. We had a guy who had an expensive looking Cannon camera with him. When he got "dunked" towards the end of his flight, he went under pretty good. When he got out, his camera was dripping wet. I asked him if it was waterproof, he said he didn't think so. He said he didn't care and shrugged it off like it was no big deal. I can only imagine what it looked like inside after the salt water got to it....heheheeee.

Here's a pic from my trip....that's me on the left.

The photo package cost $30 or you can pay $20 for a friend to ride along as an observer and they can take pics. That's what Jay and I did. We took ton of pics and video. The other couple on the boat bought the photo package and it seemed like the guide didn't take very many pics. You book the observer the same time you book the flyers. Its a lot more fun.
